DROP AND ADD POLICY
Same as University. Please review.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is very important.
No one will be admitted to class late! Entering the class room after the start
of class is very disrupting and inconsiderate of your class mates. If you
cannot get to class before the scheduled start time DO NOT COME! If you must
leave during class time DO NOT RETURN! Announced and unannounced quizzes will
be given frequently. All absences, except those having to do with pre-approved
SOSU functions, will be considered unexcused.
Make-up exams will be given in
extenuating circumstances only, and only with prior permission. Credit will not
be given for assignments that are turned in after their due date. There
will be no make-up quizzes.
CELL
PHONE POLICY
The use of cell phones in class will
not be permitted. If you must bring a
cell phone or pager to class, turn it off and place it out of sight. DO NOT ANSWER calls in class! You will not be allowed to use a cell phone
calculator in class at any time. You are
responsible to bring a calculator to class when needed.
If you have a special requirement
for pager or cell phone access in class, contact your instructor BEFORE
class. These requests will be evaluated
on a case by case basis.
CHEATING or PLAGIARISM
Cheating may be defined as using
unauthorized materials or giving or receiving unauthorized materials or
receiving unauthorized assistance during an examination or other academic
exercise. Examples may include:
1.
Copying the work of another student during an examination OR other
academic exercise (including computer
exercises), or permitting another student to copy one's work;
2.
Taking an examination for another student, or allowing another student
to take one's examination;
3.
Possessing unauthorized notes, study sheets or other materials during an
examination or other academic exercise;
4. Falsifying or tampering with examination
results.
5. Completing, copying, or using the results of any
other student's computer assignments.
Plagiarism may be defined as the use
of another's ideas or words without acknowledgement. Examples of plagiarism may include:
1. Failing to use quotation marks when quoting
from a source;
2. Failing to document distinctive ideas from a
source;
3. Fabrication or inventing sources.
Cheating
and plagiarism will result in those actions outlined by the
